Unmarriageable

Pakistan is a great setting for a modernized Pride and Prejudice. The values match up pretty well to Regency England. Even knowing where the story is going, Unmarriageable is an engrossing drama.

But I have trouble buying that an English literature teacher who teaches P&P to high school girls is not going to notice her family matches up to the Bennet family exactly.

The audiobook is read by the author, so you get the Pakistani accent adding to the story. Minor characters from P&P have more presence in this book and names range from close to original - “Darsee” instead of “Darcy” - to completely random - “Pinky” for Mrs Bennet. I got confused during the more crowded scenes.
